 To define an escalating goal for the BUSY attribute for all CPUs using separate 
commands: 
GOAL CPU, BUSY < 50 
GOAL CPU, BUSY << 70 
GOAL CPU, BUSY <<< 90 
 To define a normal simplex goal on the CPU BUSY attribute: 
GOAL CPU, BUSY << 80 
Using the << or <<< operator is the same as using the < operator if only one goal 
is defined. 
 To define a de-escalating goal on the TMF TRANSRATE attribute: 
GOAL TMF, TRANSRATE >30, TRANSRATE >> 20, TRANSRATE >>> 10 
 To define an escalating goal on CPU BUSY that generates an information EMS 
event and then a critical EMS event as the problem worsens: 
GOAL CPU, BUSY < 50, BUSY << 70 INFO, BUSY <<< 90 CRITICAL 
The ―UP‖ event, if enabled, will be written when the CPU leaves the alert state by 
falling back below 50% busy. 
 To define an escalating goal on CPU BUSY that generates specific event numbers 
and where the most critical event repeats while that level of problem exists: 
GOAL CPU, BUSY < 50 INFO 8881-8880 
GOAL CPU, BUSY << 70 CRITICAL 8882 
GOAL CPU, BUSY <<< 90 CRITICAL REPEAT 8883 
If the CPU is 70% busy when it alerts then event 8882 will be written. 
 To define an escalating goal on the SPOOLER FULLPCT attribute that takes a 
different action depending on how full the SPOOLER is: 
GOAL SPOOLER, FULLPCT < 50 ACTION “TACL CLEANSPL <#OBJECT>” 
GOAL SPOOLER, FULLPCT << 70 ACTION “TACL DELETEJOB <#OBJECT>” 
GOAL SPOOLER, FULLPCT <<< 90 ACTION “TACL FORCESPL <#OBJECT>” 
 To define a simplex goal for all CPUs and override that goal with an escalating 
goal for CPU 0:
